Collecting stuff
Alright, so I've noticed a couple of people on this board are pack rats like myself and I just wanted to know what kinds of treasures they are
holding. I found a spectacular deal on the Nightmare On Elm Street sticker album and stickers.........unfortunately I had to go into Hot Topic to get
them, but they were dumping the album off at 99 cents apiece, you cant beat it, and the stickers (6 to a pack) at 50 cents. I went nuts, I also found
the old Crypt Keeper in the electric chair that lights up and laughs on Ebay and somehow squeeked out with a win, I feel good about myself now What kinds of gems have you encountered lately and what price (blood, first born
etc...) did you pay?

Lately, all I want are records. Lots and lots of records. They sound like shit, and no one wants to buy them used (MINT CONDITION, NEVER PLAYED...um,
why did you buy them then?), but I buy them and play them and love them. Goodwill, online, anywhere I can get my grubby little paws on vinyl cheap.
I'm not collecting for sport, but for love of records.

i used to pour money into old skateboards and records, and my wife collects pez dispensers and edward gorey books and illustrations. these days, we
collect money. save, save, save. i was totally stoked today because i found out my wife is now fully vested in her company's 401k matching
contributions. such a nerd.
If I fail math, there goes my chance at a good job and a happy life full of hard work.

I have a couple of unused pieces of FREEZE LP artwork. There on glossy paper and were never folded up for use with the LPs. Cliff said that they were
really rare because they were limited to begin with plus these are un-used and un-numbered. Anyway.... The point to all this is that its Edward Gorey
artwork and if your wife would be into it you can have one.

I also like to find really obscure movies, mostly horror, but anything interesting is cool. I found one called "Six String Samurai" It came out in the
late nineties, and it looks real good, but I have'nt gotten it in the mail yet. Sometimes I think I pack rat a little too much, bhut I will only
start to worry for real if I pull a Howard Hughes and begin to collect bodily fluids.

Oh yeah... I collect way to much crap! The thing is that I never sell anything even after Ive lost interest in it so I still have all the collections
that I started from years and years ago.
Past collections I still have:
Stamps
Coins
Baseball Cards
Matchbox Cars
Star Wars crap
Action Figures (stuff I dont care about anymore)
Guitars & Bass'
Collections I still add to:
Records (only special stuff)
Action Figures (not as much as I used to)
Devils Rejects/House of 1000 Corpses stuff
Serial Killer stuff
T-Shirts
Anything I can get of a few specific bands
I recently got into horror movie stuff
One of the coolest things Ive bought was actually the first thing I ever bought on Ebay. Its a signed "self portrait" of Richard Ramirez 'The
Nightstalker'. I was never sorry I bought that.
Most expensive thing I bought to add to a collection was my Chung King record.
I also have a pinball machine and wish I could collect more of those, but they are expensive and I definitly dont have the space.
I totally want to downsize, but everytime I try to throw something out for some reason I cant let myself do it! Im a HUGE packrat and sometimes it
sucks!

so these are basically the printed album jackets, but not folded up or signed? interesting! i'd definitely like to add one of those to the
collection, thanks for the offer. shortly after that freeze album was released, i bought number "A" off of cliff.

Dave, you collect comics, who's your favorite artist, I am partial to Sam Kieth myself, he still does the best Wolverine bar none I have ever seen, I
use to spend alot of time sharpening my skills by copying pictures of his, he is still one of my favorite all time artists. I really like Glenn Barr
too, but I prefer his paintings to his comic work.

I mostly just buy cd's and dvd's. I have about 750 cd's, plus assorted tapes and vinyl, and I have about 300-350 dvd's.
I also collect some of the McFarlane toys. I like the Movie Maniacs series, as well I also have the Twisted Land Of Oz series of figures, and the
Famous Historical Killers figures. Cool shit.

cds and records. I dont really have room for them anymore though. I used to collect rocks when I was younger, and for a short time I was into
baseball cards. Not anymore though. The rocks and baseball cards are still at my mother's house. Im sure she'll make me take them with me one day
when I go to visit her. I'll just drop them off at my dad's house though.

McFarlane toys is a definite, I have seen some of the best stuff come from them. I started collecting those when a friend got me the Leatherface from
series one for my birthday. After that I went hog wild!!!!! I have bookcases full of them, and I am such a geek that I buy two of the ones I really
like, one to open and display, the other to keep in the package. I also really like Mezco toys, if you havent seen them yet Discipline, check them out
for sure, they are right up there with McFarlane, more cartooney, but cool nonetheless.

Damn Duane, that's a hook-up I'd LOVE to have. I've got a very few Mezco toys, but I fuckin' love 'em. I also collect toys, books, posters and
anything else based on the classic monsters, Frankenstein and his Bride are my favorites, but also werewolves, vampires, mummies and the like.

Before my house caught fire i used to collect:
alot of the old misfits stuff.
I also liked to collect flyers, stickers and "Halloween Stuff"- Skulls & monsters.
I saved all of my old H.R. Giger calenders too.
Have you ever noticed how crayons are a lot like M&M's? All the colors tend to taste the same.

MEZCO is doing the toys for The WARRIORS, which are really cool looking.
They also did really cool Blues Brothers and Animal House figures.
